Psalms 74:5-13
-
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
-
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
-
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
-
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
-
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
-
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
-
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
-
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
-
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
